Extending the applicability of the Gauss-Newton method under average Lipschitz-type conditions (Q639348)

This paper deals with convergence analysis for the Gauss-Newton method. Using the new idea of recurrent functions, and a combination of average Lipschitz/central Lipschitz conditions, the authors provide a semilocal/local convergence analysis for the Gauss-Newton method to approximate a locally unique solution of a system of equations in finite dimensional spaces. The results obtained extended the work of \textit{C. Li, N. Hu} and \textit{J. Wang} [J. Complexity 26, No.~3, 268--295 (2010; Zbl 1192.65057)] under weaker or the same conditions. Larger convergence domains are provided.
